Publisher's summary

The gripping psychological thriller from the #2 bestselling author of The Family at No. 12!

A darkness settles on this supposedly quiet street...

When Clare becomes a widow, her response is something that shocks her – relief. All she wants to do is move on and figure out how to continue her life, alone, no matter the guilt that brings.

So when Vic, her closest friend, comes to her, showing the signs of trouble in her own marriage, she is more than supportive in helping her leave Rob.

But Vic doesn’t get the chance to do that. Because as they go over to Vic's house to collect her things, they find a body. Rob’s.

It appears someone else had an axe to grind. But for Clare, already reeling from secrets from her own late husband’s dark past, she’s about to find out this murder isn’t as straightforward as it may appear…

An addictive psychological thriller from bestselling author Anita Waller perfect for fans of Frieda McFadden.

NAY NAY

No more of this author for me. The audiobook is about 7.5 hours long; for 7 of those hours, the story twists and turns with generally predictable outcomes but it’s engaging enough to try to figure out “who done it.” Then, however, in the closing minutes, the cardinal sin of mystery writing is made: i.e,, tossing in vital and previously unrevealed elements about the victim and between the murderer and the victim, as if the author had written herself into a corner and decided to just say, “oh, yeah, I forgot to mention this part in the beginning but I need to end the story because it’s due on my agent’s desk this afternoon. But be sure and read my next book.” Nay nay! Cross this author off your reading list and move on.
